Privacy Policy

This privacy policy will explain what information we collect online, why we collect it, and the choices we offer to you.
This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes the data practices of Lee Law PLLC (collectively, the “we”, or “Law Firm”) covering its services under its control, including this website, any products, or applications (collectively “Services”). By using the Services, you are consenting to this Policy and the processing of your data in the manner provided in this Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our Services. This Privacy Policy was last updated on December 5, 2018.

Information we collect

We may collect information about the Services you use and how you use them, such as the selections your make on our Services. We collect Attorney-Client Information, PII, DII, and log information about your interactions as described below.

Attorney-Client Information is information as provided to us after signing an engagement letter to establish legal representation with our Law Firm. It may include your personal or business information, private documents, trade secrets, confidential information, and the fact that we represent you. We collect this information to provide you with Services and guard this information with appropriate levels of protection for the level of sensitivity, and in compliance with relevant ethics rules.

Personally identifiable information (PII) is information that can be used to identify or contact you online or offline, such as your name, address, email, phone number, and payment information. The Service may collect PII when it is provided to us, such as when you use our Services, attempt to contact us, submit a resume or job application, or connect with us on social media or one of our partners. Our definition of PII does not include Attorney-Client Information – we keep them separate to reflect different levels of sensitivity and legal obligations.

We may also create or collect device-identifiable information (DII), such as cookies, unique device and advertising identifiers, usernames, and similar identifiers that are linkable to a browser or device. These technologies help us maintain user sessions, keep track of your interactions with us, and help us to improve or market our Services. Our Services also collect log information about your interactions, including navigation paths, search queries, crashes, timestamps, clicks and shares, and referral URLs. We may combine this data with PII and DII. We may also partner with third parties that collect additional information – please see their privacy policies for more details and see below for your choices regarding these parties.

How we use information we collect

We use the information we collect from our Services to provide, maintain, protect and improve our Services, to develop new Services and offerings, and to protect us and our users.

We use Attorney-Client Information to provide you with legal services. We may use legal services to research information relating to your case, such as case law search information. We may also share your Attorney-Client Information with other lawyers within or associated with our law firm through Of Counsel or similar relationships to provide you better advice. Outside of these limited uses, we will only release Attorney-Client Information with your consent. We will fight any attempt by outside parties, including government agencies, from attempting to acquire your information in violation of applicable ethics rules. As of the date of this privacy policy, we have not received any request from government agencies, including FISA requests or warrants, for Attorney-Client Information.

PII is primarily used for marketing, hiring, responding to inquiries, logins, and providing Services to customers. When you contact us, we may keep a record of your communication as well as the other information to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may share your PII with attorneys in or associated with our Law Firm to help provide your with Services. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.
We share PII, but not Attorney-Client Information, with companies, outside organizations, and individuals for limited reasons, outlined below:

With your consent – We will share PII with companies, outside organizations or individuals if we have your consent to do so.

For external processing – We provide PII to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

For legal reasons – We will share PII with companies, outside organizations or individuals if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues or protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

In case of a sale or asset transfer – If we become involved in a merger, acquisition or other transaction involving the sale of some or all of our assets, user information, including PII collected from you through your use of our Services, could be included in the transferred assets. Should such an event occur, we will use reasonable means to notify you, either through email and/or a prominent notice on the Services.

In aggregated form for business purposes – We may share aggregated information and DII with our partners such as businesses we have a relationship with, advertisers or connected sites. For example, we may share information to show trends about the general use of our services.

We use DII and log information to operate our Services and manage user sessions, including analyzing usage of our Services, preventing malicious behavioral and fraud, improving the content, to link your identity across devices and browsers in order to provide you with a more seamless experience online, and helping third parties provide relevant advertising and related metrics. We share DII with third parties primarily for advertising and analytics purposes, for external processing, and for security purposes.

Third Parties

While we strive to work with reputable companies with good privacy practices, this Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be displayed to you on the Services. We also do not control the privacy policies and your privacy settings on third-party sites, including social networks. We may use third parties to help retarget our Services (without using any Attorney-Client Information), such as obtaining analytics about the users of our site and to help tailor advertising to your preferences. For further information, please see the relevant privacy policies for each third party and industry codes of conduct.

Legal Bases for Processing

The data we process may qualify for multiple legal bases for processing under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (and similar laws that specify legal bases for processing). Below are our primary legal bases for each type of data:
We may collect your name, email, address, and billing information as contractually necessary to provide you legal services.
We have a legitimate interest in collecting and using your name and email for email marketing and ongoing client updates.
We have a legitimate interest in having personal information about clients and other people in furtherance of providing representation to our clients.
We have a legitimate interest in conducting analytics, using social media, and conducting ad campaigns to improve our services and reach new users. We and our processors and co-controllers have multiple measures in place to protect your privacy.

Accessing and updating your information

We aim to provide you with reasonable opportunity to access, update, and delete to your PII. In some cases, we may have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your information, we may ask you to

Information security

We work hard to protect our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold and undertake reasonable security measures with appropriate confidentiality, integrity, and availability protections. However, since no software or storage system is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee for the security of your information associated with the Services, or any other service for that matter. The data we have from your use of our Services is retained for up to 10 years since the last time we spoke with our, except for client data which is retained until the client requests deletion.
